"Correspondent! Tell the commander of the Third Division to resolve the battle as soon as possible. If these two baits can't attract big fish, I will attack the Beautiful Country's Third Infantry Division!"
After the fighting started at the Third Division, Li Qiufan asked the correspondent to convey the news to the commander of the Third Division.
The First Division of the Southern Dynasty and the Beautiful Country Airborne Regiment alone were not enough to attract big fish. His real target was the Beautiful Country's 3rd Infantry Division opposite the Fourth Army.
And the enemy's side was indeed what he thought. After learning that the 3rd Infantry Division had no time to take care of Itachiam-ri, the beautiful commander did not mobilize troops from the direction of Pocheon to support.
Because the First Division and the Airborne Regiment of the Southern Dynasty did not significantly affect his plan.
The commander of the beautiful country gave the order to the First Division and the Airborne Regiment of the Southern Dynasty to hold back the volunteer troops as much as possible. Support was already on the way, and they were clearly regarded as abandoned.
But regardless of whether there was support or not, the First Division of the Southern Dynasty could not withstand the offensive of the Third Division and was defeated and fled.
The beautiful country's airborne regiment had the same ending. It could not stop the attacks of the first and second divisions at all, and was beaten and retreated.
"Order the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Tank Regiment and the 3rd Division to immediately move toward Qifeng Mountain and launch an attack on the flanks of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country!"
"Order the 1st and 2nd Divisions to give up chasing the enemy and immediately make a detour to the rear of the Beautiful Country's 3rd Infantry Division to assist other troops in encircling and annihilating them!"
"Order the 12th Division to take the initiative and penetrate the right wing of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country to block the connection between it and the enemy forces in Pocheon!"
After repelling the enemy troops in Weasel Rock, Li Qiufan immediately ordered the third division to attack the flank of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, and at the same time asked the first and second divisions to make roundabouts to block its retreat.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the three divisions immediately headed to their respective target locations.
At the same time, Li Qiufan also sent the 12th Division to penetrate the right wing of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, cutting off its retreat route to the east.
"Order the 10th and 11th Divisions to blow the charge horn and counterattack!"
"Notify the three heavy artillery brigades of the armored division to open fire to cover the enemy's positions with fire!"
As time passed, the troops arrived at their predetermined positions one after another, and Li Qiufan issued the counterattack order without hesitation.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the horn of the charge sounded from the positions of the 10th Division and the 11th Division, and then the soldiers of the two divisions rushed out of the position and launched a charge towards the enemy's position.
At the same time, the Third Infantry Division on the left flank of the Beautiful Country's Third Infantry Division also took action and launched an attack on it under the cover of two tank battalions.
The 1st and 2nd Divisions and the 12th Division on the enemy's right flank did not move, because their mission was not to attack, but to cut off the retreat of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country.
After receiving fierce attacks from two directions, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the United States immediately commanded the troops to counterattack.
But the artillery shells that followed were so heavy that they couldn't raise their heads, and they could only watch the volunteer soldiers rushing to the position.
"Correspondent, order the three heavy artillery brigades to extend their artillery fire and concentrate their firepower to strike the enemy's depths!"
"In addition, notify the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Air Defense Regiment to come up as well, so that I can suppress the enemy's firepower and cover the advance of the large forces!"
Seeing the charging soldiers rushing into the enemy's position, Li Qiufan immediately gave the order to the three heavy artillery brigades to extend the artillery fire, and also sent the second and third battalions of the air defense regiment up.
As the two battalions of the air defense regiment joined, the self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns directly suppressed the enemy's firepower, causing the infantry to advance faster and faster, and soon penetrated the enemy's entire front-line position.
Seeing that the volunteers were unstoppable, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country immediately contacted the commander of the Beautiful Country, reported the situation and asked for help.
After receiving the news, the commander of the beautiful country did not immediately arrange for troops to go to support. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he gave the order to the 3rd Infantry Division to retreat.
Even if he gave up the front line of Chilbong Mountain and Itachiam-ri, the commander of Meiguo did not want to disrupt his plan and give up the advancement of Pocheon and Chuncheon areas.
But what he didn't know was that Li Qiufan had already cut off the retreat of the Third Infantry Division.
After receiving the order, the commander of the Third Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
But not long after they retreated, they encountered an obstruction. It was the First Division and the Second Division that had circled back behind them.
After receiving the news that there was an obstruction in the rear, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the United States immediately decided not to entangle with it, and then ordered the troops to change their retreat direction and evacuate to the Pocheon area.
But not too far out, they were blocked again. It was the Twelfth Division that had already passed through.
At this time, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country was completely panicked. All two retreat routes were cut off by the volunteers.
Then the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country contacted the commander of the Beautiful Country again and reported the news that the retreat was blocked.
The beautiful commander's face turned dark after receiving the news. He did not expect that the volunteer army would fight back at such a disadvantage and surrounded an entire division of theirs.
Now it is impossible not to support them, because the ones being surrounded are not the Southern Korean troops or the joint forces.
The commander of the beautiful country did not hesitate at all this time and immediately issued an order to the 1st Marine Division and the 24th Infantry Division in the Pocheon area to immediately go to Chilbong Mountain for support.
At this time, the situation on the Pocheon front line was very serious, and the 38th Army's first-line defensive position could hardly be defended.
Just when the commander of the 38th Army was about to order the troops to retreat to the second-line defensive positions, the enemy troops unexpectedly withdrew.
Upon seeing this, the commander of the 38th Army immediately ordered to replenish the front-line defense positions. At the same time, he also realized that there should be some big movement on Li Qiufan's side. Then the commander of the 38th Army reported to Li Qiufan about the Pocheon front line. Case.
"Reply to the 38th Army and ask them to just guard Pocheon and don't worry about anything else!"
After receiving the report from the 38th Army, Li Qiufan knew that the plan was successful and the enemy troops were already providing support to Qifeng Mountain.
"Correspondent, order the 12th Division to take the initiative and charge in the direction of the 10th and 11th Divisions, and retreat immediately after the three divisions have joined together!"
"Inform the First Division and the Second Division that they can withdraw. Enemy reinforcements have arrived. If we continue to fight, we will not be able to escape!"
After replying to the 38th Army, Li Qiufan prepared to withdraw all the troops.
Because they could not destroy the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country in a short period of time, and if they continued, they would risk being surrounded, so Li Qiufan decided to withdraw all the troops before enemy reinforcements arrived.
